Having to use PuTTY on my daily job function, I would like to recommend a good companion PuTTY tool which enables you to use tabbing session for PuTTY. With PuTTY Connection Manager, you can use PuTTY in tab session for managing multiple PuTTY instances. In order to run PuTTY Connection Manager, the PuTTY client is required and version 0.60 is recommended as well as Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0. The latest version is beta 0.6.0.4822 and it has been tested on Windows XP French SP1/SP2 and Vista US also it should work on Windows 2000.

Nevertheless, PuTTY Connection Manager is a freeware software which has the following features: -

  • Tabs and dockable windows for PuTTY instances.
  • Fully compatible with PuTTY configuration (using registry).
  • Easily customizable to optimize workspace (fullscreen, minimze to tray, add/remove toolbar, etc…).
  • Automatic login feature regardless to protocol restrictions (user keyboard simulation).
  • Post-login commands (execute any shell command when logged).
  • Connection Manager: Manage a large number of connections with specific configuration (auto-login, specific PuTTY Session, post-command, etc…).
  • Quick connect toolbar to quickly launch a PuTTY connection.
  • Import/Export whole connections informations to XML format (generate your configuration automatically from another tool and import it, or export your configuration for backup purpose).
  • Encrypted configuration database option available to store connections informations safely (external library supporting AES algorithm used with key sizes of 128, 192 and 256 bits, please refer for the legal status of encryption software in your country).
  • Standalone executable, no setup required.
  • Localizable : English (default) and French available (only when using setup version, standalone is english only).
  • Completely free for commercial and personal use.
